Counterproductive culture & Engineering Leadership
Pros
- A tech startup solving problems in a very challenging and valuable industry - Nice, decent, supportive people excluding the leadership - Good tech stack to work
Cons
- Insensitive leadership - Roles with inadequate compensation - Absence of recognition or performance-driven career objectives - Culture centred around the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) - Limited or stagnant career advancement opportunities - Focus solely on meeting company demands without bonuses, annual reviews, competitive packages, or insurance, offering only a low base salary. - Lack of transparent performance assessments - Unforeseen layoffs - Less support for professional support (you will find attractive things like team budget, and personal development budget which will never get allocated unless you're in the CTO's list) - Carrier development plans or mechanisms are just another piece of document by leadership which hasn't helped anyone to actually grow.
